About: As the owner of three dogs, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I’m reliable, patient, and will care for your dog like one of my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work at a hospital 3 days a week so I’m available . I’m also an empty nester so I have time in my schedule . I follow each pet’s routine, provide fresh food and water, daily walks, playtime, lots of attention, and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. ..

About: I’ve grown up with a labrador retriever who quickly became my live-in best bud! I’ve adored animals ever since. I’ve helped neighbors/friends watch over their dogs/cats and homes, short-term and extended periods of time, either stopping by throughout the day to care for the pet or living in the home while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for an elderly and newly blind dog, and understand each pet has specific needs and care, plus consistency in routine is important when their owners are away from them. I am currently looking for a full/part-time job and am in between jobs right now, so I have a lot of time flexibility in a day-to-day while I am job searching. I care for others pets the same way I’d care for my dog, Mackie. Plenty of quality time, walks and meals based on their usually routine, playtime outside in the mornings and/or afternoon.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. Neighbors, friends, and family regularly rely on me to walk their dogs — whether it’s daily routines or helping while they’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and always make sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and safety they need on every walk. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time and energy to give pets the attention, love, and care they deserve. Since I focus on dog walking, I always follow the pet owner’s leash, route, and care instructions. I ensure each dog feels safe and gets plenty of movement and attention during our walk.
About: Since I was young, I have been around various breeds of dogs. I have always loved being around other pets as well. I’ve pet sat for bunnies, cats, dogs, and turtles. I have taken care of dogs at my family home since I was 15 years old and I also took care of my own dog for over 13 years. I currently work full time from 8-5 on weekdays. I am free after 5 to pet sit on weekdays. I’m only fully available to care for your pet on weekends and usually Fridays after 5pm.
“Maria took great care of Boo. He’s a quirky senior not so friendly kitty & Maria managed him well. I had regular updates & came home to an orderly house & “happy” cat. I highly recommend Maria & hope to call on her again!”
About: I have taken care of friends and family pets over the course of this year some long-term and some short term. Frequent dog park visits and timely feedings. I can accommodate all types of diets, raw kibble, and specialty foods. I currently work full-time however I have a rotating schedule so I can often pet sit and drop in weekdays if needed and weekends. I am off in the mornings so drop and visits are easy for people who work 9 to 5 and just want their dog to have some extra time out or to just check in on the cats. There is an option of having your pet here in my space all to themselves or with my personal pets. I have different options of sleeping accommodations for your pet cage, cot and cushioned. Though I do not have a fenced in yard, I have a dog park in my complex as well as a dog park 4 minutes away by car. I can accommodate all diets, including raw diet.
About: I am a special education teacher living in Danbury CT. Growing up I had a variety of pets. Though I currently do not have any pets, I have always loved animals. Recently I have cared for my parents’ dog when they were unable to. I am a highly rated pet caregiver on another app. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet. I am available after 4pm during the week and on weekends. In addition, I am available during school vacations. I am open to walking your dog as well as dog sitting at your home when needed. I look forward to meeting your pet, I would love to care for your pet in your home. I enjoy walking and giving your pet the exercise they need.
About: I have over a decade of experience with a multitude of clients, family members pups, as well as my own fur baby that I welcomed to my family a few years ago. I have loved dogs ever since I was a young girl and I truly enjoy spending time with them and walking and caring for them. I am a college graduate of the University of Lynchburg and moved back home afterwards. I am a volunteer firefighter in the area, former 911 dispatcher, and an investigative analyst. I work a normal 9-5pm work week. I have a fenced in back yard where your dog would be able to run freely. I am an athlete and love being outdoors and taking your dog out for runs or fetch etc. My fur baby is an extremely friendly female border collie pup and would love a play date! Just communicate your needs with me and we can go from there! Additionally, I will send updates of your fur baby so rest assured that they will be in safe hands with me!
“This was our first time using Kat and she was a wonderful dog sitter! She focused on Irie, took great care to remember our specific instructions, and asked just the right questions, and we felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. We look forward to working with Kat often in the future. :-)”

Jason was amazing! Jason was communicative with us, such professionalism, and took wonderful care of our two pups (one’s a drama girl, with emotional needs:) while we were away. We cannot wait to go on vacation knowing he will be back at our home, caring for our pups.

The average cost of House Sitting in North Salem is $100 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $64 and $129 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred North Salem walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in North Salem maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in North Salem choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
